WWE have today made the decision to rename the Fabulous Moolah Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34 due to the fan backlash surrounding the company honoring Moolah, backlash which reached WWE’s sponsor for WrestleMania, Snickers, who had the following to say on the matter.

“We were recently made aware of the World Wrestling Entertainment Inc’s (WWE) decision to honor a former wrestler during the upcoming WrestleMania 34 event. As a principle-based business that has long championed creating inclusive environments that encourage and empower everyone to reach their full potential, this is unacceptable. We are engaging with the WWE to express our disappointment.”

WWE meanwhile, noted that after consideration, they have renamed the match as the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal.

“After further consideration, we believe it’s best to proceed with the name ‘WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal.’ What remains most important is that this historic match is part of WWE’s unwavering commitment to the Women’s Division.”
